<P class="title">Switch <B>-W&lt;path&gt;</B> - set folder for temporary files<hr></P>

<P>WinRAR needs to create temporary files and folders in some operations
like archive modification. By default it creates them in folder specified
in "Folder for temporary files" field of <A HREF="HELPPathsSettings.htm">
Paths</A> page in "Settings" dialog. When you use WinRAR in command line
mode, you can override this parameter with -w&lt;path&gt; switch.
Folder specified in this switch must already exist.</P>

<h1><B>Example</B></h1>

<P>use d:\tmp folder for temporary files, when adding a new comment
to info.rar</P>

<p class="sample">WinRAR c -wd:\tmp -zcomment.txt info.rar</p>
